GitMon Changelog

Version 0.1.0

18 September 2026

Initial public release of GitMon for macOS 14.0+.
Native Git metadata parsing directly in Swift: reads .git/HEAD, loose and packed refs, pack files, and the index stat cache — about 10 ms per repository, with no git subprocesses.
Automatic detection of uncommitted changes: modified, staged, deleted, conflicted and untracked files, honouring .gitignore.
Exact ahead/behind counts against the upstream branch, by walking the commit graph. Branches that were never pushed, and upstreams that have gone missing, are called out as such rather than given a number.
Detached HEAD alerts and commit SHA identification.
Stale and merged local branch auditing with customizable age thresholds. A branch is only labelled merged when it is provably an ancestor of the default branch.
Quick launcher integration with Terminal, iTerm, Ghostty, Warp, VS Code, Cursor, Xcode, and Finder.
One scan at launch, then scanning only while the menu bar window is open or on demand — no background polling.
Polar licensing integration with a 14-day fully-featured offline trial.
Linked git worktree support: refs, config and objects are read from the shared common directory.
Sparkle auto-updates with 12 months of included updates.
